Research 5th EC framework programme 1998-2002: results dissemination, participation of undertakings, universities

The rapporteur explained that this proposal was vitally important for the implementation of the framework programme. Commissioner Cresson said that, pending reformulation, Amendments Nos 4 and 8 (EC, Euratom) could be partially accepted. As for the other amendments, the Commission could not accept these either because they were already covered by the measures proposed (Amendment No 1-EC, Euratom, and Nos 5, 11 and 16-EC) or because they were likely to introduce detailed provisions in theoretical texts governing the whole research policy (Amendment Nos 2 and 7-EC, Euratom, and No 14-EC). Some raised problems of a legal nature (Amendments Nos 12 and 13-EC) and others fell within the context of the implementation measures (Amendments Nos 3 and 6-EC, Euratom, and Nos 9 and 15-EC).
